I´m Nobody´s Child

And[C] stopped there for a moment [D7]just to watch the children [G7]play

A [C]lonely boy was standing and [F]when I asked him why

He [C]turned with eyes that could not see and [G7]he began to [C]cry

I'm nobody's child I´m [C7]nobody's [F]child

[G7]I´m like a flower just growing [C]wild

No mommy´s kisses no [C7]daddy's [F]smile

[G7]Nobody wants me I'm nobody's [C]child

People come for children and [F]take them for their own

But [C]they all seem to pass me by [D7]and leave me all [G7]alone

I [C]know they'd like to take me but [F]when they see I'm blind

They [C]always take some other child and I [G7]am left [C]behind

No mommy´s arms to hold me or [F]sooth me when I cry

Some[C]times it gets so lonely here [D7]I wish that I could [G7]die

I´d [C]walk the streets of heaven [F]where all the blind can see

And [C]just like all the other kids there´d [G7]be a home for[C] me

( Next two verses are spoken: )

[C]I just can´t seem to figure out

[F]Why the folks all pass me by

[C]Cause I know that it´s true that God takes

[D7]Little blind children with Him in the [G7]sky

And [C]they tell me I´m so pretty

And [F]they seem to like my big curls of gold

But [C]then they take some other little child

And I´m [G7]left here all[C] alone

I'm nobody's child I´m [C7]nobody's [F]child

[G7]I´m like a flower just growing [C]wild

No mommy´s kisses no [C7]daddy's [F]smile

[G7]Nobody wants me I'm nobody's [C]child

I was slowly passing an orphan's home one dayAnd stopped there for a moment just to watch the children playA lonely boy was standing and when I asked him whyHe turned with eyes that could not see and he began to cry

People come for children and take them for their ownBut they all seem to pass me by and leave me all aloneI know they'd like to take me but when they see I'm blindThey always take some other child and I am left behind

No mommy´s arms to hold me or sooth me when I crySometimes it gets so lonely here I wish that I could dieI´d walk the streets of heaven where all the blind can seeAnd just like all the other kids there´d be a home for me

( Next two verses are spoken: )

I just can´t seem to figure outWhy the folks all pass me byCause I know that it´s true that God takesLittle blind children with Him in the sky

And they tell me I´m so prettyAnd they seem to like my big curls of goldBut then they take some other little childAnd I´m left here all alone
